I think you mean "pixbuf-heavy" theme, right (not pixmap)?

If slow pixbuf rendering were a problem, you may be interested in a
patch I submitted recently to xorg that speeded up pixbuf rendering on
R5G6B5 framebuffers by 3.4x :

That speedup was measured on a N800, but the neo1973 should see
similar improvement.
